EDIT 23 September: Thanks very much for your views and suggestions. I've compiled a document with all your responses and will discuss it with Jake and Ben. 
Hi Rafonauts
We've had more than a week of playing with our shiny new toy so now's the time for a little bit of feedback. Below are 3 threads: What Do You Like?; What Do You Think Could Be Better?; Things You'd Like To See and Do.
1: What Do You Like?
- tell us what's great on the board - new features etc - and why you like it.
2: What Do You Think Could Be Better?
- tell us what you think isn't working and how we could change it.
Caveat: for now the Other Literature and Non-Fiction categories stay on this board. It's not the ideal solution, but right now it's about consolidation and survival. We need to get the site running properly before we create new boards, so please don't mention that one!
3: Things You'd Like To See and Do
- tell us what you'd like to see in the future. We're going to do bi-monthly Book Clubs (as mentioned in our welcome post), but what else would you like? You can also suggest Categories you'd like to see for the Board, and anything else you can think of.
EDIT: It should be noted that there's no guarantee we'll do what you've asked. It might be too difficult, or it might not be the right time, or we might simply think it's not a great idea. But post your thoughts anyway; you might inspire us.

That's always been the dilemma, and I think/hope the compromise solution works.

Not really a suggestion, but how will the book clubs be organized?

What I would like to see, but would require some coding to be done...

That sounds a very good idea, both for the community, and for supporting the site various ways.

Make my threads blink. I am important and as such, deserve a blinking thread. Trim it with fire too *NM*

I'm not an expert, but that doesn't seem like it's possible atm... would be a big change in any case

I'd rather have the blinking threads trimmed in fire for my posts only. *NM*
